Hi - we're staying at the cinimon bay campground and would like some recommendations on CHEAP - but good dining - we're talking less than $10 an entree.... I have dietary restrictions - so no fast food please! Also are there any restaurants that have specific meals we just shouldn't miss? Like a grand buffet for $5 for breakfast? Anything?

Food in the Islands is generally more expensive than stateside as the cost of import adds pretty much, to all food. If you found a $5 buffet in St. John Call the health department! However there are some to consider. Uncle Joe's BBQ, Corn on the cob, ribs, BBQ Chicken,There is food at Cinnamon but I haven't eaten there. The good news is most all of the resaurants are great! (Mediocrity withers and dies pretty quickly) I'm sure more posters will pitch in shortly.

Siotha:

You say you have dietary restrictions but you want to keep it under $10 an entree. Hmmmm.... That is going to be a tough one. There are no fast food restaurants on St. John so if this was your only dietary restriction, it makes it a little easier. If you are talking restrictions on certain types of food, I could not offer advice being that I don't know what those restrictions are.

Wes gave you a really good option.... that is Uncle Joes BBQ. Reasonable price, good portions, and delicious. Roma's has good pizza and I think you can keep it around $20 for 2 people. Duffy's Love Shack has "entrees" under $10 but in my opinion there food is mediocre at best. Its a much better place to drink. Woody's Seafood (another GREAT place to drink) has deep fried seafood platters for around $10 .... I think. There is a deli in town that makes great sandwiches (the name escapes me right now). And there are many places to get a burger and fries for around $10.

Other than that..... its going to be extremely difficult to get a good entree for around $10. Hope this helps.

Chilly Billy's in the Lumberyard shopping center serves breakfast and lunch everyday and almost everything is under $10! The food is great and so is the view.

Yep.... You are 100% correct. I did forget about the Subway. So if you consider Subway a fast food restaurant..... I stand corrected.
